Hoyt Was Cited In A News Article After Being Named Associate Counsel At
The White House. "Robert F. Hoyt, a Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr
partner, has joined the White House counsel's office as an associate counsel. No
word yet on his portfolio, but Hoyt was the vice chairman of his firm's
powerhouse securities department for a time and served on the firm's management
committee. So chatter is that it's unlikely that he would leave for or be recruited
for an associate counsel job unless the White House expects to be playing some
serious defense in the coming months on the investigations front." (The
Washington Post, 7/20/05)
The Legal Times Reported In 1999 That: "Wilmer lawyers in 1998 also worked
on behalf of the Oklahoma City bombing victims, persuading Chief U.S. District
Judge Richard Matsch of the District of Colorado to enter a restitution order
against bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols. Matsch previously had indicated
that he would not enter any restitution order because Nichols had few assets, but
Wilmer lawyers argued Nichols might earn considerable sums through media
interviews and similar deals. Wilmer also represented two bombing victims who
wanted to speak at Nichols' sentencing hearing. After oral argument, Matsch ruled
that Wilmer's clients-- as well as other victims of the bombing--had a federal right
of allocution. 'You couldn't put it into words how appreciative these victims
were, says Wilmer partner Robert Hoyt. "There was nothing more important to
them than addressing the court or keeping these people from making a million
bucks by selling their story to Hard Copy."
Hoyt Has Been Cited In Several Lawsuits Due To His Position As An
Attorney. (See Attached)
